Default

object Default : Random, Serializable

The default random number generator.

On JVM this generator is thread-safe, its methods can be invoked from multiple threads.

Samples

import samples.*
import kotlin.math.sin
import kotlin.random.Random
import kotlin.test.assertTrue
fun main() { 
   //sampleStart 
   val randomValues = List(10) { Random.nextInt(0, 100) }
// prints new sequence every time
println(randomValues)

val nextValues = List(10) { Random.nextInt(0, 100) }
println(nextValues)
assertTrue(randomValues != nextValues) 
   //sampleEnd
}
